Vorlage:Location/general documentation

This is a family of templates used to geo-code Commons images. See Commons:Geocoding for information on how to find coordinates for your images.

• {{Location}} – used to provide camera location using degrees/minutes/seconds (DMS) notation
• {{Location dec}} – used to provide camera location using decimal notation
• {{Object location}} – used to provide object location using DMS notation
• {{Object location dec}} – used to provide object location using decimal notation
• {{Globe location}} – used to provide object location on other globes, like moon, mars, etc. Uses both decimal and DMS notations.

In most cases, camera location is preferred and most images should use the first two templates. However, in some cases object location—which indicates the position of the main subject of the photograph—makes more sense, for example when providing the location of a painting or sheet music. It can also be used to point to a nearby feature instead of giving the exact location of the main object, e.g. when you do not want to reveal the exact location of a rare plant.

Those templates output a Geo_(microformat) and add images to either Category:Media with locations or Category:Media with erroneous locations.

Object location tags do not add the picture onto the Geocommons layer for Google maps and Google Earth, so if you know the camera location and want the picture to be shown in this layer, use the camera location tag instead.

Syntax

{{Location|Degree|Minute|Second|Latitude|Degree|Minute|Second|Longitude|Information attributes}}
{{Location dec|Degree Latitude|Degree Longitude|Information attributes}}
{{Object location|Degree|Minute|Second|Latitude|Degree|Minute|Second|Longitude|Information attributes}}
{{Object location dec|Degree Latitude|Degree Longitude|Information attributes}}
{{Globe location|Degree Latitude|Degree Longitude|Globe|Information attributes}}
{{Globe location|Degree|Minute|Second|Latitude|Degree|Minute|Second|Longitude|Globe|Information attributes}}


Syntax examples of "Information attributes": (Don't use spaces instead of underscores!)
heading:180
region:XX-YYY_heading:45
region:XX-YYY_scale:10000_heading:SW


Don't use parameter "type", it is hardcoded as "camera". Use "scale" or "dim" to indicate a suitable map region size to display the picture.

{{Location}} example

Code	{{Location|34|1|27.37|N|116|9|29.88|W|region:DE-NI_heading:SE}}
Produces	Kameraposition 34° 1′ 27,37″ N, 116° 9′ 29,88″ W Dieses und weitere Bilder auf Google Maps (Information)

{{Location dec}} example

Code	{{Location dec|34.02427|-116.15830|region:DE-NI_scale:10000_heading:SW}}
Produces	Kameraposition 34° 1′ 27,37″ N, 116° 9′ 29,88″ W Dieses und weitere Bilder auf Google Maps (Information)

{{Object location dec}} example

Code	{{Object location dec|34.02427|-116.15830|region:DE-NI_scale:10000}}

{{Globe location}} example

Code	{{Globe location|34.02427|-116.15830|moon}}
Produces	Location 34° 1′ 27,37″ N, 116° 9′ 29,88″ W (Information)
Code	{{Globe location|34|1|27.37|N|116|9|29.88|W|mars}}
Produces	Location 34° 1′ 27,37″ N, 116° 9′ 29,88″ W (Information)

The syntax and output of {{Object location}} and {{Object location dec}} templates is the same, except for the word "Object" in the template name resulting in the use of Object Location phrase instead of Camera Location in the output.
